I'll have to agree with you on the chemistry between the leads. While I personally loved ITSAY, I wasn't very fond of Oh and Teh together. It felt more like a bromance than an actual relationship. It was a lot more believable when it was between Oh and Bas. Part of me wishes they ended up together.
A beautiful review! I felt the same way going into this series because I had previously seen Earth in Waterboyy that was horrendous, but he did a spectacular job in this. I would love to read other reviews you have, you have a stellar vocabulary lol.
I thought my connection was tripping with those subtitles, so nice to know it wasn't only me!
I only got to episode 4 before I decided to put the series on hold, but you brought up a good point that Diew is on the autism spectrum. I think I missed those moments, (mostly because I was distracted by the chaos of it all), but I love that he ends up getting actual help by the end.
Although I think both actors did an incredible job in this series, there is no way that I can excuse their toxic behaviors, and it telling that you do. Although this is your review and you're entitled to stick to your own opinion, I will say that some of the excuses you give for their actions are a little concerning.
1. It's okay to like this series, as there are good parts, but excusing their behavior to fit your narrative is NOT okay. We all have our guilty pleasures, there are shows we probably shouldn't like, but we do. And that's completely fine, but don't ignore the bad just to only highlight the good. Instead of trying to excuse their behavior, you could've simply just admitted to the problems, and continued on with parts that were positive. 2. I think most people had a problem with the behavior of Tharn rather than Type. Although Type was very ignorant and rude, his behavior is somewhat acceptable seeing as he has gone through past trauma, and the worst he did was just throw around Tharns things, and be annoying on purpose to have Tharn move out. I still don't think it's an excuse for his anger issues, but rather an understanding. 3. There was ALOT more than just a peck that Tharn didn't ask consent for. For one, it was not just a peck, Tharn sexually assaulted Type by groping and kissing him while Type was under the influence. Type literally wakes up the next morning covered in hickeys. That also was not the only non-consensual scene, there was also the shower scene in which Tharn once again sexually assaults him. Just because Type looked to be enjoying it is still not a reason to excuse Tharn's behavior, and Type was obviously upset by the end. You using the excuse that Tharn could've done this as a punishment or revenge really concerns me. THAT IS NOT AN EXCUSE. The fact that you say that as reasoning for his actions is so far beyond problematic and scary that you don't see it as a problem. I'm worried about your morals, cause if you can justify that, then what else are you okay with?

Again, great review!
